Prevent Auto Theft :/
 

MODs please move this topic, if I'm in the wrong section.

last night my daily car GSR Integra almost got stolen last night. They went from the rear driver side door window (4 door), to get in. and they trying to hot wire the car. I have alarm on, but they probably did something to switch it off, Immobilization is installed as well.

any other tools that I can use to put on my car? or any tips?


any vendor here, who's selling Steering Wheel Lock for a fair price. I need 2, for the FRS as well.. ugh!

garage is the best

yea but garage was used for storage :( so I have no choice to put it outside.

Diy kill switch, removable steering wheel are a few starters.

kill switch? is that same as the immobilizer? :iono:

Yeah but if it came with the car it can be easy to look up how to circumvent. A DIY one will be almost impossible to figure out before hand.

ohw! but ahmm the FRS came with the immobilizer correct? and have alarm installed by the dealer. is that mean i need to go somewhere else to get/ install that kill switch? any sample/link that I could look up to?

You could always try keeping a tiger in your car...

I personally like the removable steering wheel idea. If I still had my integra I'd probably go that route as well.

You'll need to put a fuel cut off switch in that car somewhere.

People don't know exactly how EASY it is to steal the Integra - even if you have the MY2000+ with an immobilizer ...it's easy. Clearly these thieves did not know what they were doing.

I think you meant a cougar in the car. :D

I used to have an emergency fuel cut switch with a key dongle that looked like a large unshielded usb on my Z32. It could be used in an emergency @ the track or for theft protection.

Another cool thing i used to have was a micro momentary push button located somewhere along the steering column. I unplugged the momentary switch on my clutch pedal, the one closer to the firewall that engages when you press the clutch down to the floor to start the car, and wired it to the hidden button so you had to push the button while turning the key to start the car. Best part is you do not have to cut any wiring, just use small spade connectors that fit into the harness connector, tape it and zip wire out of the way.

at the end of the day, if they really want to steal your car, they will get a tow truck... that's how my parent's CRV was stolen...

I have my frs theft encoded.

1: Move out of California
2: Get rid of the GSR.

Seriously. Owning a swapped Honda or a "tuned" Honda just isn't worth it anymore. Heck, I was paranoid owning my S2000 and I kept it in the garage! My sold his Integra Type R for a NSX partially because of this. Ask yourself this question: Do parts from my car easily fit in a Civic? If no, then you're probably pretty safe owning that car.

Consider a GPS tracking device so you can track your car if it gets stolen. The best way to prevent car theft is to actually help the police catch the thieves and if you have some means to tell the officer: "According to my GPS tracker, the car is on the corner of 24th and main!"

Just install a hidden fuel cut off switch disabling the fuel pump. Put it somewhere only you know and have access to from the driver seat. Short of towing it they won't be able to drive it away.

thanks guyss.. I did get rid of it. Sold last monday. Im just going to get a another daily car.

what do u mean?? howww? lol. i know that frs has immobilizer pre-installed from factory.

My dealership offered it to me. They somehow stick or etch a code on your windows that's unique to your car.

really? my dealer dont offer anything :thumbdown:.. i saw ur from around here lol.. i think i need to see it in person before asking my dealer lol

Which dealer did you get your frs?

Cliffs: You own a GSR.

I've had two Hondas stolen. Not fun...but at this point it's almost part of owning a "hot" Honda.

Capitol Toyota. they didnt offer anything about security features code. just the freakin katzkin leather seats lol

yea i know. i did get rid of the GSR. i hope those idiots only likes acuras and hondas and not Scions lol

The katzkin is hella nice though. You're selling the fr-s?? Why??

no lol..i sold the GSR but not the FR-S. i mean is they only offer me the katzkin leather seats, yea hecka nice so I told them to put it on lol.

Whenever you're free i can show you what they did. Did you pass by the sbux over at mc carthy ranch yesterday around 10:45am?

yea sure i let u know. oh no. that wasnt me. i was sleeping that time lol

This is brilliant. Technically you could hide it anywhere.
